Dental calculus is an irregularly surfaced and permeable layer that is formed by the precipitation of naturally occurring minerals in saliva on the transparent plaque layer that forms on the teeth as a result of not performing regular oral care. Since the surface of tartar is rough and hard, this accumulation on the teeth paves the way for increased plaque retention. For this reason, after tartar formation
occurs, it is not possible to remove the plaques on the teeth with regular oral care. If tartar is not professionally cleaned, the attachments on the teeth
will cause gum diseases.
The most common symptom of gum diseases is bleeding during brushing. This
bleeding is accompanied by edematous and red structure in the gums, gingivitis, bad breath and advanced
loosening of the teeth. Gum disease; If the inflammatory areas in the gums and
tartar are not removed from the teeth and the gums are not made healthy, it may lead to
tooth loss.
Smoking, the person's eating habits, excessive consumption of beverages that cause discoloration, such as tea and coffee.
The tartar layer formed by consumption turns brown-yellow.
And after this stage, it also disturbs the person in an aesthetic sense.
Dental tartar cleaning; It is the process of removing the attachments on the teeth using tools that emit ultrasonic vibrations. This process can also be achieved with hand tools or various
tools that disrupt the structure of the dental stone. Contrary to popular misconception; When applied correctly
it is not a procedure that harms healthy dental tissue. After all the attachments on the teeth are removed by the dentist, the healing of the gums occurs in a very short time if the person applies oral care correctly and regularly. Bleeding decreases
and the gums regain their healthy color and form.
In the presence of advanced gum disease, in addition to scaling, at the end of the period determined by the dentist
the stones under the gums are cleaned and subgingival curettage
is performed. to be done

will be treated before it progresses, thus scaling can be done in a short time without any pain, and
healing is achieved much more easily and as desired. In addition, gum diseases, which can progress
without any symptoms, can be prevented in the early stages
with regular check-ups.
